Posterheroes 2023 – Beautifully Diverse invites the creative community to promote a new representation of disability.
In a world where inequalities are constantly increasing, strengthening cooperation and educating solidarity and empathy to recognize the value and dignity of each individual, regardless of ability or characteristics, is more important than ever. Through collective action, promoting a narrative of disability that is neither positive nor negative but a simple expression of the diversity that characterises humanity is therefore necessary.
It is time to transcend the normal and embrace the beauty of diversity.

We live in an era of information overload where people must continually reskill, upskill and get new skills. Learning follows the accelerated pace of technological progress, leaving behind those who cannot keep up. It is time to change the paradigm in favour of slow and sustainable learning that aims to train conscious individuals in the name of cooperation, respect, and solidarity.
Posterheroes propose to reflect on the limits of current learning models and imagine future ones: MINDFUL OR MIND FULL?

Recent global events prompted a new way to view normality, it’s called the “New Normal”. The digital approach completely changed too, and it’s up to us to adapt, coexist every day, and create conditions for organic, systemic development in our society. The pandemic amplified the urgency to contemplate a topical issue: Digital Inclusion. That is, all activities aimed at ensuring that individuals and communities can equally access and benefit from opportunities related to computer systems and telecommunications. And so, we ask: “Are we becoming e-Quals?”.

In contemporary society, work represents not only the main means of subsistence for human life, but also the element capable of guaranteeing security, responding to the needs of belonging and self-fulfillment and defining the relationship between oneself and the others in a wider context.
The world of work, however, in recent decades has undergone a very rapid transformative process and it has been influenced, on a global level, by a wide range of factors, with specific consequences in different territorial areas. While on the one hand, globalization has made production, exchanges and transactions faster, more flexible and efficient, on the other hand, the persistence of pre-existing critical issues and the presence of new challenges are now more evident.

Future is for the most unknown, but we can be sure that challenges we wrote above, with many others (the transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources, the over consumption and the waste management, etc.), won’t find a resolution in the time passing by, but they will need human energy, involvement, intuition and dedication.
Heroes without mask, without costume, without superpowers, that can change the world with little actions and everyday choices.

The rights on the couples, on the family and about love are slowly changing.
Love and the right to love are at the center of the current worldwide debate.
The right to love, regardless of gender, race, nationality or religion, has become, over the years, a basic statement that means freedom of expression and human equality. However, this important acknowledgment is still far to be extended to the entire globe: some cultures, communities and nations are still struggling to obtain equal rights and freedoms. Every day, worldwide, there are situations where homosexuality is seen as an illness, a problem, often legally punishable by imprisonment, or even by death penalty. In many cases, these conditions push homosexual men and women to marry the opposite sex so as to hide in public their sexual orientation.
Alike, there are cases in which women, are considered as subordinate to men, without the right to be treated equally in the community, especially if they do not get married.
What are your thoughts about “the right to love”?
Portray what it means to be “a couple” in your culture with a poster.
